Tranum

Tranum is a beach break located on Denmark's west coast facing the North Sea. The coastline runs north-south with water to the west, making it exposed to Atlantic swells and westerly winds. The spot features a sandy beach with gentle slope, backed by residential development and vegetation. Water conditions are typically choppy due to fetch limitations and coastal weather patterns. Wind reliability is moderate at 32%, with average winds of 10.5 knots and small average wave height of 0.87m. The spot works best with northerly winds (side-shore), which provide safe conditions parallel to the coast. Water temperatures average 9.5°C, requiring cold-water gear year-round. Tranum suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters due to small waves and relatively protected conditions created by the shallow nearshore bathymetry. Kiters should be aware of the close proximity to residential infrastructure, avoid shallow areas near the beach, and check wind forecasts carefully given the low reliability statistics. The spot is most consistent during winter when North Atlantic systems bring stronger winds.
